Feature And Benefits
OILTROL™ controls HTHP fluid loss on wells where the bottom hole temperature exceeds 200⁰C (392⁰F).
OILTROL™ particle size distribution is optimized to ensure the lowest concentration possible is needed to provide required fluid loss control.
OILTROL™ contributes to emulsion stability and has little effect on rheology.
Product Function
OILTROL™ is effective in controlling HTHP fluid loss in oil base drilling fluids.
Recommended treatment
OILTROL™ treatment levels are 2–10 lbs/bbl (5.7–28.6 kgs/m³). Actual concentrations required should be determined by pilot testing and encountered bore hole conditions.
